Setting up a business from home is great, but we need to make sure our residential areas keep that neighbourhood feel and don't become the new main shopping streets of town!

One way we keep the neighbourhood feel is by limiting the number of cars that can go to and from your business. 

If you think you are going to get less than 10 customers, then you can be pretty certain you will have less than 10 cars coming and going. Because of this, you don't need to do anything further.

If you think your customer and car visitors are likely to increase, then you will need to apply for a resource consent as any more than 10 cars coming and going each day is not allowed under our District Plan.  

Confused? Don't worry, our friendly planning staff are here to help!
